Top Law Schools

For undergrad, involvement on campus is always touted as an important way to stand out and learn "transferrable skills"

Does this reasoning apply to law school?

Does being a member (whether executive or not) looks good on resume when seeking a law job?

Serving as a VP on the Business Law Club will impress a prospective employer?

With these questions in mind, please take part in poll. If you wish to answer the above questions in post, go right ahead.

Your poll is too confusing.

Also, you're not special.

I gather from the final option on your poll that your are an elitist dick.



Welcome home.

I also object that there is no "ITE forget employment, lets talk methods of suicide" option.

Not really, no. Although my friend with sub median grades (and a C on the transcript) got callbacks in NYC, probably partly because of ECs.

This post is useless. For all we know, your "friend" goes to, say, Chicago or Cornell.

I lol'd. FTR, option #5 is contradictory. I would say, in this order: grades, law review, field specific club (most important for the networking opportunities)

since being involved in EVERYTHING is nearly impossible, try 1. grades, 2. internships (connections!), and 3. law review

Only a 0L would put internships above LR in a hierarchy of importance for getting a job.

No...my friend goes to a MVP. And yes, really a friend.

Confirmation that your post is, in fact, useless. Your friend got a callback in NYC because s/he goes to MVP.
